Lyrics The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin' Jennys

The Devil's Paintbrush Road

I held on for so long

Dusty quaint old song

Things attach with glue

Live and die and gone

June flowers are so bold

On the devil's paintbrush road

The devil paints a double life

And there I dare not go

Live and die and gone

Live and die and gone

The devil paints a double life

Live and die and gone

I'm not the cheating kind

It snuck from behind

Kicked in the door to someday

I can't get her off my mind

All or nothing now

Might as well be true

Leave the dream of hearth and home

That never will come true

Live and die and gone

Live and die and gone

Leave the dream of hearth and home

Live and die and gone

Sweet wild road ahead

Sweet wild road ahead

If I lied and said that all was well

I might as well be dead

Single I was born

And single I will die

I'll marry myself to the whole wide world

And never make her cry

Live and die and gone

Live and die and gone

I'll marry myself to the whole wide world

Live and die and gone

Live and die and gone

Live and die and gone

The devil paints a double life

Live and die and gone
